UofL announced Thursday the local Planet Fitness franchise has donated $3 million toward the expansion of the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex.

Head coach Charlie Strong was in attendance and talked about the contribution.

"The gift is so special. And you look at it. It's all about our expansion as we move in to the ACC. And it is a conference where, recruiting wise, where a young man would look at. They always want to talk about your facilities. So now we have a chance to expand the weight room, the training room. And we also need a players lounge. We need to do something with the locker room. But this gift here is just steps in what we're moving as we continue to try to just raise, and just build our complex," Strong said.

UofL's weight room includes 10,500 square feet of floor space. The plan is to expand the weight facility to almost double its current size and give the players more room to train during their conditioning periods.

The training area in the complex is about 3,000 square feet, but will double in size during the expansion.

Hillary Clinton's office said "nothing nefarious was at play" when the former secretary of state used her personal email address, rather than one provided by the State Department, during her four years as America's top diplomat.
